ENFJ's Sometimes Struggle with Depression
1. They tend to be chronic people pleasers. Ask anyone who is an ENFJ personality type and they will admit that they are naturally prone to being people pleasers. It is difficult because ENFJ's have extroverted feeling as their primary cognitive function, therefore they are already very focused on other people's emotional states. ENFJ's desire that those around them are cared for and happy. They want their friends, family members, and co-workers to be as happy has humanly possible. However, it is most certainly not realistic for everyone to always be happy and blowing rainbows at one another, right? ENFJ's will eventually learn that they cannot please everyone, however if they are found to be stuck in the mental mess of pleasing people, then it will lead to them becoming depressed and overwhelmed mentally. In order for ENFJ's to maintain mental stability, they should strive to focus on their own self-care instead of worrying about everyone else's quite as much.

Our Slow Journey into Minimalism
Minimalism. Over the last several years my wife and I have started a slow journey toward minimizing our lives. I will not lie, some days it feels like I am pulling teeth. She tends to have way more attachments to material possessions, whereas I tend to have very few attachments to things. As of right now, we have a four-year-old daughter who has been given many toys, stuffed animals, and random items that well-meaning relatives love to give her. It gets overwhelming, very overwhelming when we get rid of some of these items and before we know it, the items have doubled. Some days I look around our house and I feel mentally exhausted when I see how much stuff we have laying around. As Americans, we tend to fall into thinking we need all this stuff, when in reality we don't need most of it. Can we please get back to the basics? Americans get way too caught up in stuff.
